Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door open. Unplug the unit before attempting manual release.
Steps to unlock:
- Check for water: Look through the door glass for standing water. If present, drain via the pump filter or by running a drain-only cycle.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for 2–3 minutes, then reconnect and see if the lock releases.
- Manual release (if provided): Access the area around the door lock assembly by removing the lower front panel or pulling back the gasket. Look for a manual release tab or pull cord and gently pull to unlock.
- Inspect and replace lock: If the lock frequently sticks, replace the door lock assembly.
If the door remains locked and you cannot access the manual release, contact a professional to avoid damaging the door or cabinet.
